Japanese History: From ripping off the Chinese to feudalism
from Bro History · host Bro History
Today we dive into Classical Japan’s transition from a strong central government to feudalism. During the Heian period, Japan created a court system mimicking the Tang Dynasty of China. Due to high levels of corruption and crony land politics, the Japanese court system gradually deteriorated into a country ruled by powerful private land owners. Today we discuss how this transition applies to Japan’s national identity. Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brohistory Episode #186 Learn more about your ad choices.
